Boa tarde!

This week was a working week. Nothing super out of the ordinary happened. It´s getting hotter here, and starting to feel like summer. We´re currently teaching 2 rapazes that are progressing. The first is Patrick. We´ve actually been teaching him for a long time, and he´s just been progressing in his own little speed. But logo logo he´s going to get baptized!

We´re also teaching a rapaz named Luiz Victor. We found the 2 weeks ago, and he´s an elect of the Lord! Every time we go there he´s like, Wow I didn´t know that! It´s super awesome. He said that he was praying about something and then two days later we responded his question with the Plan of Salvation. He also has a date for baptism. He just needs to go to church a few time, e pronto!

The picture for this week is future Sister Rute. XD She´s super cute. Also, she asked if I'm pregnant. KKKKKK she´s the little sister of a recent convert and her mom is getting baptized this week!

But that´s about it for now.

Love you all!

I actually took pictures this week!

This week was super awesome, and a little bit weird. But I liked it.

First of all, we had transfers, and..... I stayed. Again. But with Sister De Maria again! Woohoo! It's gonna be my 5th transfer here in Cubatão. Let´s go! Woohoo! This transfer we´re definitely going to have a baptism. I'm super excited.

1) We had a little service project where we painted the front of the house and the gate of a lady in the ward. It was fun. We got to use pants and help and stuff.

2) Sister Freitas had her last district counsel, so we ate food and stuff. Also, our zone made t-shirts.

3) Last night, we had a Family Home Evening, and Patrick went! He's the cousin of one of the recent converts, and we've been working with him for a while. But he's really starting to progress now, and we're excited.

4) We had divisions this week too, so I spent Wednesday in Parque das Bandeiras. I spent the day with Sister Tomlinson, and I learned a lot that day. It was a great day. And Sister De Maria did awesome leading another new Sister here in Cubatão. She's already an expert.

But that's all for now, gente.

Amo vocês,

Hey, everybody! I thought this week I will do something different, and share all the funny things that happened this week.

1) For my birthday, one of my investigators sent a Happy birthday tele-message. I don´t know exactly what that´s called in English. But it was like a flashback to who knows what year. It was funny. And after the message a lady asked if I knew who sent it to me. I didn’t, but I thought maybe President Harman had a weird idea for the missionaries birthdays. But the lady said " It was your brother in Christ, Patrick!" We laughed a lot about that.
2) This weekend was a holiday, Children´s Day, so there were a lot of drunk people on the street, and sometimes we try to get their contacts before we know they´re drunk. One of them. asked my name and understood Ellen. another man told me that my name tag says " I am Andrea".
3) One of the investigators of the elders from our ward, while reading the Book of Mormon, said God would never command Nephi to kill Laban. She was very skeptical about it. However when she was watching the new Book of Mormon videos she was telling Nephi to just kill him already. "Mata logo filho!" hahaha We laughed about that a lot.
4) I learned that I´ve been saying the word rock wrong all this time.... and that de nenhum jeito and de algum jeito mean the same thing.

And I think that´s all that I can remember of the funny things from this week. But it was a good one.

And here are my 4 favorite lessons from the week:

1) With Paulo, we taught the plan of salvation. just the first part. But he was absolutely amazed that he lived with God before he was born.  We tried to move on, but he just coming back to that.
2) With Heitor, we taught the 10 commandments. He is hilarious, he doesn´t know basically anything about God, but he understood the part about how he can´t pray to horses hahahaha
3) With Manoel and Val, we taught the Word of Wisdom. Manoel was like Wow, I´ve never heard that you can´t drink coffee. He wasn´t upset or anything, just pure surprise. But when we invited him to live it, he said "If God doesn´t want me to drink, then it´s not for me to drink"
4) With Jurandilson, we shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was really good. He wants to follow the right path, but needs to make a few changes in his life first. He accepted a baptismal date with enthusiasm and we made some goals to help him prepare.

And that´s all for today. Have a great week everybody!

Conferencia Geral!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody!!!!!! This week was a great adventure for us! Other than the hundreds of little miracles in the daily life, we had a few other excitements. On Thursday, our entire zone had a service project in São Vicente. We visited a nursing home and sang for them. It was super fun and also a challenge for my Portuguese haha.  Velhinhos são difíceis entender. One of the ladies there, Teresa, wanted a picture with me and Sister Thurber. She was cute. Unfortunately, while we were in São Vicente, we lost our cell phone. We had to learn some patience, but with some prayers, it was found and we have it again.


And I loved General Conference! It was amazing! They talked a lot about covenants, which I was thinking a lot about last week. Really, it´s only when we make promises with God that we can progress to reach our potential. My favorite talks were by President Eyring and Elder Rasband I think. And Elder Gong. But I loved it all. And we had some people come to church to watch with us which was amazing!


But I love you all. Have a great week.
